ROCKLAND, Maine — Rockland police are asking for the public’s help in locating a vehicle that struck a pedestrian Monday evening and left the scene.
Rockland police and emergency medical services staff responded at 5:56 p.m. to the report of 19-year-old Elizabeth Grotton lying in the road. The woman had been walking west on Maverick Street near the intersection of North Main Street with her back to traffic when she was clipped by a vehicle.
